MySam Instructions

MySAM is a suite of tools that includes a plan of study, advising notes, and GPA calculators in addition to the degree audit. These tools promote academic success and four year graduation.

Note: Students should use MySAM if their initial enrollment/readmission was fall 2012-present. If initial enrollment/readmission was prior to fall 2012, students should use DARS.
